10 Best Jobs For Introverts

Careers that offer focus and depth

Introverts are typically quieter and more reserved than extroverts. They
tend to be more focused on internal thoughts and feelings, and get
energy from being alone. They're also better suited to some jobs than others, according to a new report from job search site CareerCast.com.

Susan Cain, author of "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking,"
says introverts can be very social, but because they tend to reach
equilibrium in quieter, lower-key environments, professions like
astronomer and film editor are a better fit for them.

"They typically prefer jobs that offer some autonomy, privacy, focus,
and the ability to work in-depth on interesting projects," Cain says.
"Many introverts are in seemingly extroverted professions (such as media
and PR) because of their love for the subject, [but] the successful
ones honor their own temperament and make sure to recharge their
batteries frequently."

All providing independence, strong projected growth, and decent pay,
CareerCast.com has identified the following 10 jobs as the best suited
to introverted job seekers:

"You wouldn't think that a job with 'social' right in the name is suited
to introverts, but it's a great fit," said Tony Lee, publisher of
CareerCast, in a release. "While in-person interaction may not be an
introvert's cup of tea, technological outlets allow an introvert to
maintain person-to-person communication electronically without the
stresses of actual conversation."
